The ITD file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the ITD files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the ITD file on each system platform.
What is ITD file?
The file in the ITD format belongs to the Misc Files category. The author of this format is SDL Tridion. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. SDL Trados Translation is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use SDL Trados Studio to handle this file. This is a program created by SDL Tridion.
How to open ITD file?
The most common problem when using SDL Trados Translation is that a specific ITD is not associated with the program. This causes the file ITD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ITD file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install SDL Trados Studio
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SDL Trados Studio is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SDL Trados Studio into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ITD files.
Programs to open ITD file
Remember to download programs supporting ITD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SDL Trados Studio with ITD files
If, despite the installed application, the ITD file does not start in the SDL Trados Studio application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SDL Trados Studio application as the default for handling the ITD file.
Step 3. Update SDL Trados Studio to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SDL Trados Studio program, it is possible that SDL Trados Translation requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the SDL Tridion website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ITD file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The ITD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ITD file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ITD or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ITD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ITD files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ITD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SDL Tridion help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ITD files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ITD to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ITD to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ITD file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
